How long is the renewal of the passport going to take? Better to submit the application after the new renewed passport is ready.Ibpl wrote:My international passport has already expired but before that i had already submitted all the necessary documents for its renewal to the embassy. My new passport is going to be issued at the end of July. Currently i am on a valid EP working for a company in Singapore. I am due to receive an offer from a new company this week. My question is whether a new company can apply for my new EP despite the fact that my international passport has already expired.
My current EP will be valid yet for more then a year.carteki wrote:Depends on how much time you have left on your current EP. Probably best to wait for the new passport, but as long as you can bring both along I don't think that it should be a problem (my personal opinion).
I applied under my old passport, and took my new one to be stamped (which they had stopped doing at that point). I can't remember if they asked to look at the old one or not, but there was no issue.
It will take one month or so. But I am not sure if the company can wait for me.singaporeflyer wrote:How long is the renewal of the passport going to take?

It is exactly the case. And my embassy has issued the same letter to me.Asdracles wrote:I don't know if it's exactly the case, but I have submitted a few EP renewal applications with an embassy letter stating that the employee has just applied for a passport renovation.
All them were considered valid.

That's what is confusing .. and also, the OP is ignoring that question ..beppi wrote:As far as I know, foreigners in Singapore must own a valid passport at all times. By having applied for renewal too late, you are already breaking that rule!
EC (Emergency Certificate) is only for one time travel, back to your home country, and is not valid for any pass application .. Trust me .. and not a standby passport ..Embassies can issue temporary ID documents in emergency cases - go to your embassy immediately to get one!
I don't know if you can apply for an EP with that, but it's worth a try.
True againIf, however, you are currently in your home country, I guess you cannot apply for an EP without a valid passport, you have to wait until it's issued.
His country might be like Singapore used to be many years ago when I first came here. I was told that Singapore did have two passports, one a local one that only permitted travel to Malaysia and the International one for the rest of the world. I cannot find any references to it today but I vaguely remember my wife telling me about them.ecureilx wrote: Plus the OP stating his "international passport" expired ..

Yes, Singapore did have one passport for Malaysia, and one for rest of the world .. and a few years ago, they stopped that system and it is only one passport for everything ..sundaymorningstaple wrote: His country might be like Singapore used to be many years ago when I first came here.
